Canada Child Benefit – What You’ll Receive In November 2025

Canada Child Benefit: If you are a parent or guardian in Canada, the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is one of the most helpful financial supports available to families. Every month, eligible families receive a tax-free payment to help cover the costs of raising children under the age of 18.

The next payment is set for November 2025, and here’s everything you need to know about how much you could get, when the payment arrives, and what determines your amount.

November 2025 Payment Date

The Canada Child Benefit payment for November 2025 is scheduled for November 20, 2025. If that date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the money will usually be deposited on the last business day before that date.

Payments are typically made through direct deposit, ensuring funds arrive quickly in your bank account.

How Much You’ll Get in November 2025

The benefit amount increases slightly each year to match inflation. For the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year, the maximum annual amounts are:

Child’s Age	Maximum Annual Amount	Approx. Monthly Payment
Under 6 years	$7,997	$666.41
6–17 years	$6,748	$562.33

These amounts are the maximum possible. Your actual payment depends on your adjusted family net income (AFNI). If your family income is $37,487 or less, you will likely receive the full amount. Once your income goes above that level, the benefit is gradually reduced.

For families with children eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, there is an additional Canada Child Disability Benefit of up to $3,411 per child per year.

Income and Eligibility Rules

Canada Child Benefit: The benefit is based on your income from the previous year. For example, your 2024 income determines your payments from July 2025 to June 2026.

If your income increases, your benefit amount decreases slightly. The benefit is calculated for each child individually, and families with multiple children often receive higher total payments.

To qualify, you must:

• Be a Canadian resident.
• Live with the child, and be primarily responsible for their care.
• File your taxes every year.
• Update the CRA if your marital status, custody arrangement, or address changes.

If you are new to Canada or haven’t applied before, you can register by submitting a child benefit application through the CRA or filling out the form when you register your child’s birth.

Why the CCB Matters

Raising children can be expensive, especially with rising prices for groceries, clothes, and school items. The Canada Child Benefit helps families manage these daily costs, offering real support to low- and middle-income households.

For many parents, the monthly CCB deposit brings stability and allows them to focus more on their children’s needs.
